JUST IN: DSS Arrests Doyin Okupe At Lagos Airport

Doyin Okupe, who recently resigned as the Director-General of the Labour Party (LP)  Presidential Campaign Council, has been reportedly arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

One of his lawyers, Tolu Babaleye, disclosed this on Facebook on Thursday.

Babaleye said Okupe was on his way to London.

Why DSS Arrested Doyin Okupe

Accordingng to him, the DSS asked him to provide court processes where he paid the fine option following his money laundering conviction by the Federal High Court, Abuja.

“The reason according to source is that he was asked to produce evidence that the Federal High Court Abuja has freed him from the case in which he was convicted and paid fine to the knowledge of the whole world and was allowed to go home.

“When will this harassment stop? Who is after Dr. Okupe? As of today, the man has no case to answer, I hereby demand that the DSS should release my client immediately as this is a violation of his freedom of movement, right to liberty and dignity of human person. This is unfair as the man’s health is fast failing,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that the Chairman of DAAR Communications Limited, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi was on the 8thof January, arrested by the police in the United Kingdom (UK).

Dokpesi was arrested while travelling to the UK from Frankfurt, Germany.

He was however, released after a few hours.
